The 24" Chiruwa Ang Khola I picked up several weeks ago has spoiled me - otherwise I probably would have jumped on the Ang Khola offered today.

I am considering asking my employer to set up HI fund account whereby I can have a designated amount deducted (pre-tax, of course) from my paycheck and set aside for HI purchases - sort of a 401k(hukuri). :)
(I'm not sure they will buy into the employer matching provision I am going to propose.)

Eric,
I like your idea of a 401k(hukuri). That would be a very smart retirement fund.

Wow, that Chiruwa AK is absolutely beautiful. If I had the scratch, it would be mine in a heartbeat. Awesome looking Khuk!

:thumbup:
 
Man oh man I'd like to get that AK. Beautiful, Chiruwa and beefy to boot. Only problem is that one of the only two other khuks I own is already a (non Chiruwa) AK. It's just too similar to make it my third one. Now if I had fifteen other khukuris already, that would be another story.

How does that make any sense? Sometimes I confuse myslef. :confused:

Email sent for Malla. $68 is a steal.

Damned right! That is a fantastic price. I had 3 that went for an average of $125 each, and two discounted to $95. Crack or not that is a scary great price.

Guys, that CAK is the gem here. 18" CAK's are very few and far between. I have a couple 16.5" standard ones, but this one gives you a little extra for the money. Personally I think the CAK 20's are bordering on too heavy, but this should be just right. Wish I could snag it, but that's going to have to be one of my future acquistions.

Makes perfect sense to me. When I first got hooked on the DOTDs, the blade in question on a given day had to be significantly different from what I already received to justify the leap. After I had a number of blades representing various models and sizes, small variations were sufficient to distinguish the proposed purchase from those in hand and qualify for the "email sent on" post. Is that close?

That's it exactly. Same reason I passed up a 12" Pen the other day - just bought a 15". I just think it's hilarious that I'll be more likely to get that next khuk as I get more and more. :rolleyes: Uh oh. :D

You will know I'm in real trouble when, in response to Yangdu's "Email to get any or all," you see a post from me that says, "Email sent on all." :D
